Reports emerged on 17 September 2024 that, from about 15:45 that day local time, a large number of pagers used by Hezbollah personnel in Lebanon exploded spontaneously and virtually simultaneously. At the time of writing, nine persons are reported to have died and 2,750 persons reportedly suffered injuries.

(…)

Two key questions now need to be considered. First, are these weapons, weapon systems or methods of warfare lawful? The weapon system in the present case will comprise the fake component including the explosive content, the detonator, the arming mechanism and the equipment that is used to generate and transmit the relevant signal. A method of warfare is a way of conducting hostilities. Second, do these attacks comply with targeting law? I consider these questions in turn.

    According to Israel every adult male is a terrorist. Remember they are even using AI to target them. And if I remember correctly around 20K are the kids and women killed. So I hardly doubt that the number of Hamas fighters is so high.

    You know we will never know what their ratio is, because Israel can claim whatever they want without providing proof that those killed were indeed terrorists. You remember them killing their own hostages or the FCK? This simply shows how indiscriminate they are in the killings and how little they care about civilian casualties.

    And remind me if any of their soldiers actually get an effective sentence for committing a grave offence.
